Bomboulder is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.
Characteristics
A rust-coloured boulder with a jagged grin on its face. Despite its name, the bomboulder does not pack any sort of explosive punch. It is typically seen in league with powerful foes because of its ability to revive its allies at the expense of its own life.
